{title:Fame Is}
{subtitle:N. Finn}
INTRO CHORD: Esus4*
B* Bb9*
Fork lightning in your hall
Ab* G9*
Break the skin when you break the fall
G D E
I'll be the one to fix it up
B Bb9
Love children of the new age
Ab G9
Just a hippy with a weekly wage
G D G A
There's no rebellion just a chance to be lazy
Em G A Em
When fame is in your blood
G A Em
You follow the science of love
G A Em
Wave the magic wand
F#
And hang on
The rest of us are living in a daze
Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made
Here come the handmaidens of end time
Lost treasure from a primitive race
All the lives written on your face
can't fill the canyons of your mind
Em G A Em
When fame is in your blood
G A Em
You follow the science of love
G A Em
Wave the magic wand
G F#
And hang on
G F#

Now you've changed and jumbled the pieces

You've changed but you were better off before

You talked to a roomful of strangers
